England's
Laura Massaro and Frenchman Gregory Gaultier reigned supreme
during the final night of action at the PSA Dubai World Series
Finals, defeating Raneem El Welily and Cameron Pilley,
respectively, to take the honours and bring the lucrative
week-long season-ending tournament to a close in Dubai.

Massaro
twice game from a game down to defeat El Welily in a 62-minute
encounter that saw her collect the biggest prize in the history
of women's squash.

Meanwhile Gaultier, winner of the title in 2008 and 2009, saw
off the challenge of surprise finalist Cameron Pilley in a 3-1
victory.

Laura 3-1 RaneemAnother superb display for the English Lady today, playing a
tactical game - speeding up the pace, not giving enough time to
Raneen to adjust her lethat shots. Laura forced errors out of
her opponent in the 2nd and in the crucial 5, 4 in the 2nd, 5 in
the 5th. Laura had a lot to prove this week, to the world, but
mostly to herself. She did that brilliantly.

Raneem El WelilyIt was a great match today, Laura was obviously playing
her best, all credit to her for fighting back and playing such a
great match.
I really enjoyed it, of course, I’m a bit disappointed to lose,
but very happy to have made it this far.
Thanks to Ziad for putting up such an event, and of course all
the sponsors.

Greg 3-1 CameronPretty comfortable first two games, with Greg imposing long
rallies and preventing PistolPilley to ajust his shots, 15m each
game still. Third, the Australian who didn't put a foot wrong
today, managed to speed up the pace and shorten the rallies,
only 12m but Greg just soared in the 4th, 6/1, 7/3, 9/4,
11/6 on his first attempt.

Cameron Pilley
It’s pretty surreal this week, I played out of my skin all week,
I was trying to qualify for the semi-finals.. so getting to the
final is pretty special.

It’s been quite an unbelievable week, I want to thank Ziad and
all the organisers, it was my first time here in Dubai and I
just hope to come back next year…

Ziad Al-Turki
"It's been an incredible week for us, tremendous crowd, an
incredible venue that is going to be very difficult to top after
this. So thank you to all the sponsors and organisers, this has
been an incredible week for us all.

The future of squash is very bright. As you know, I came into
this sport to bring squash into the limelights, those guys are
incredible athletes, they deserve recognition around the world
and since the PSA/WSA merge, we have as a goal equal prize money
across the World Series Tour.

I'm very proud to say that here in
Dubai, that are creating History and that Laura will get the
larger cash prize money in the history of Squash. Hopefully,
this will go all across the border to all the World Series
Finals and eventually to all events.

Squash is an incredible sport, played by incredible athletes
from both sexes, and this is our goal, to get equal money to
both."
